Talkin' Cowboys: New Additions

The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

Cowboys.

This He's Talking Cowboys, screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World Tours at.

The Star In Street.

Patent Touchdown and now your hosts Isaiah Standback, Patrick Walker and Kyle Yeomans.

It's a post draft edition of Talking Cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company, the official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys. Welcome into the SWBC studios, where there is some excitement, there is some frustration. There is some trash talk happening always though, but we'll get to that in the third segment. Okay, we're gonna talk about hockey later. Okay, because there.

Is anything about hockey.

There's an in that house. Bet I'm talking about hockey. Yeah, in the third segment. We're gonna talk about it later. So, but we do have a draft class to address. We have undrafted free agents that are now part of this Cowboys to lots of new additions to talk about over the last week.

So that about the music. Can they stand the right? Yeah, we're gonna find out.

Can they stand?

We're gonna find out.

Here's the thing I think there were a lot of really good additions through the NFL draft, but I think there might be a better edition happening on the show today.

Facts so.

That that watch and listen to us. You know, there's always been a fourth chair. At one point it was Rob Phillip Island and we love Rob Philip. We will always love Rob Phillips. We're still in a group message w r D late late night.

It was a very late night, okay, very late right early morning, early morning.

Yeah, So we love Rob. Rob will always be a part of the show. He knows that, and I can't wait to see him this weekend. By the way, that'll be a lot of fun. But here's the thing, I still have a Christmas present. There has been there has been an empty chair for a couple of months now. Well that chair is no longer empty today what is today to Tuesday or Wednesday?

Wednesday May third, We welcome for the first time ever to the Talking Cowboys group, the newest Dallas Cowboys dot com writer Nick Harris. Hey, w Talking Cowboys.

Let's go. We got like a like a w W. Let's go. Yeah, you gotta kick it off, let's go. Let's go. Okay with the first overall pig.

So I am one very excited about this because I think we have a really fun group. But Nick just brings a whole nother element to this that's going to be next level kind of outline where you came from, how you got to the Cowboys, and what's on the table for you over the next few months.

Yeah.

Absolutely, I come from the recruiting world.

So if y'all are big college football recruiting fans, I was working at twenty four to seven Sports and Rivals for the last four years, the last year and a half working as the national analyst for Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.

So like SEC Country, Big twelve Country, a little bit of.

Everything, definitely, and scouting kids from the time they're fourteen until they get to that college level and then transfer portal stuff as well, so you know, juggling all that and then you know, this opportunity with the Cowboys came up and couldn't pass down an opportunity to take up this seat, guys, So the real reason is to be.

On the show.

That was Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, it was to take this chair water exactly.

The thing is, we are ready to have the best podcast on the Cowboys platform. Yes, and like and now with the addition to you, it's just just unfair at this point. Is Yeah, it's like two, it's like four Usain Bolts, Like you just don't stand a chance.

It's the not one, not two.

Not three, just just full.

Katie on the Warriors.

Yeah, that's exactly what this is.

I respect that. I appreciate that.

Oh, it's the Infinity, the final one, the smash smash sosh.

Yeah, that one. And of course we've got Beamer in the back. We count him as a part of this show. He only belongs to this show.

He doesn't belong.

So Nick, thanks so much. I mean, this is gonna be fun. I can't wait to have you a part of the crew throughout talking Cowboys. But let's dive into this draft class, shall we. Because Cowboys they go out and they do good things. Not exactly what Isaiah had in mind.

Last week.

You said that if they didn't address the offensive line, they.

Did what I what I expected him to do and what we talked about, just not in necessarily the order in which I wanted it to happen.

Okay, what was the order you wanted it to happen.

Well, I wanted offensive guard first, not a swing person, not to somebody who can move over. I wanted a big, nasty guy who that's all he does is play guard.

That was my first one.

My second one was saying that we need to go out there and get a solid tight end, and then we needed to make sure that we address the defensive line and make sure we get a run stopper. And we talked about all the other guys, adding a guy in the secondary, adding a receiver, like they did all these things.

It just didn't happen in the order that I wanted it to happen.

So kudos. I'm sure we'll get the grades and all that stuff. Super kudos to the front office. They have had a dog on MVP off season. They have had an unbelievable off season, not only in the free agency market, not only in trades, but also you talk about the draft, and now we talk about the post draft and the acquisitions that they had there as well.

They're absolutely killing it.

You're starting to see the culture that word again, right, You're starting to see that really start the transition and start to really come to fruition with this organization and it's awesome because they're not being tentative. They're not being relaxed, they're not sitting back, they're not waiting for the crumbs to fall through. Okay, they are being They're being diligent and being aggressive in terms of what they want this roster to look like.

And you know what, I love the word that you chose, culture, culture, culture.

Culture.

Jerry Jones admitted it himself when he said that the Masi Mossie Smith pick would not have occurred nine to ten years ago. Okay, the last time the Cowboys selected a defensive tackle in the first round was Russell Maryland one in nineteen ninety one. And for those that may be too young to understand the greatness of Russell Maryland, we're not comparing him to Massi Smith, but we're saying this is how highly graded and how much the culture has changed under the two diligit Dan.

Quinn as defensive coordinator.

So the Cowboys are valuing positions that in recent history they haven't necessarily pre Quinn safety being.

One of them.

Okay, now knows tackle being one of them. Addition of Jonathan Hankins at the ahead of the trade deadline, Now you dropped in Mazzi Smith. This team, particularly this defense, was already one of the more nightmarish ones last season. But now you drop in somebody like Mazzie Smith and then you say, okay, well, whether you like the pick or not, and we'll get to the grades here shortly.

And I love the pick. I'm floored. But are they going to address some.

Of the other positions that they might have needed, because, like Isaiah said, because of how they handle free agency, they didn't have a ton of needs. They could truly go more so to BPA best player available in the draft, and they arguably did Schoonmaker because of the tight end run at the top of the second round. Marion overshown. The value Onduce Vaughan is just insane. So, I mean, you got that explosiveness you added to your offense, you

Yeah, to add another layer to the culture element. Talking to all these guys that are all really excited to be a part of this franchise, but especially the ones that came in on those thirty visits, it sounds like the thirty visits were almost like I'm gonna tap into

Austin Richards. I do like his versatility.

I like what they will be able to bring him, bring him to the table with and maybe you know, give some guard flexibility for him. But I guess we'll just kind of see whenever that comes around. But what it was it in the order that I wanted? Maybe not, But I do like that they addressed multiple points of need and that they reversed all around the entire class.

And that's that's the thing is. It goes back to what Patrick just said, Dallas addressed a lot of needs before the draft happened. You go out, you get Stephan Kilmore that that gives deftit corner. You go out and you snack Brandon Cooks.

That's a starter at the wide receiver position.

So you weren't you weren't pigeonholed into specific picks along the way. And I think it's a mixture of BPA in need because I don't think it was straight BPA by any stretch of the imagination, because there were better players on the board, higher ranked players on the board throughout much of their draft. Maybe not on their board. I don't think they window dressed their board, but comparatively to what we had seen, and they went for specific need.

Moments, draft moments. I've ever seen him. Hard to top it, righteration.

But the thing is, and for everybody that doesn't know and hasn't seen Duce Fawn, that dude is a playmaker ballder. He deserved to be in the sixth round. I had a fifth round great on him. So the fact that they've got that value and have that moment in the sixth round, I think it was one in one, just a fantastic pick. So with that being said, Isaiah, and you talk about the need and then the best player available, do you feel like there was a position that was neglected?

But I can't.

Do you feel comfortable with the offensive line spot right now?

I don't know.

I don't know the reason why I say that is because I hesitate to say that they didn't take care of business, because we are all sitting here together saying that they checked every box.

Every box got checked.

Okay, it may not happened in the order that we wanted, but who are we to say that the fifth round pick isn't going to play like a first round pick.

Right, We don't know, right, we don't know Deron bl exactly right. So perfect is episode the.

Fact that they addressed all their positional needs, needs, not once, but needs. I'm satisfied. I am, I am satisfied. Now you just got to wait and see what happens. You gotta wait and see why if you have a first rounder, that's if you have the third rounder, right, depending on what it is, it doesn't matter. You address your needs. Now you just hope that these guys show up and play ball.

Yeah.

I think that the biggest crux of all of our argument in the contrary would simply be the value equation, because of the order in which these players went didn't necessarily job with the order that we as individuals and or as a group and or as Cowboys fans might have had them valued on our respective boards. So in that capacity, we then have to defer to the recent success slash failure rate of this staff, and you got

That's a Schoolmaker pick.

Schoolmaker got pulled forward in my opinion because of the run on tight ends, but I still very much like Schoolmaker as a player. So the Cowboys still got themselves a definitive player and somebody who could come in and challenge for a starting role against Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot and you love to see that happen. But to answer your question, I think the only position and I like, I assume Richards brains because I saw stat only three sacks allowed in over one thousand reps.

And that's a you know, no North Carolina guy. He knows how to protect the he's playing tackle there too.

Correct And Nick and I we spoke with Will McLay on yesterday in a conference call, and I specifically as McLay, is this a Tyler Smith situation where you bring a man as tackle but you commit him fully a guard in training camp? He was like, no, he's going to, you know, get reps at both. So keep keep a bit of information. I think wide receiver is still the

Yeah, and I think that's one of the bigger kids.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

I think there's a lot of questions around the wide receiver depth going deeper into the offseason and ahead of training camp, there's gonna be a lot of questions around that. You know, see me for Hooko, you know, he was a guy that looked really good at training camp last year, didn't really get to show what he could do last season.

So I think there is a lot of flexibility.

And we've we've talked about this a lot and in the last few days about how much versatility is in the class. You know, with a lot of the draft picks that they made, you know, Deuce being able to come out of the backfield lineup in the slot, Austin Richards having that gar tackle flexibility. We could go on and on, but I think that versatility allows them to be a little bit more flexible whenever those injuries do happen, because that's what's plagued them in the past.

That's a great point because you think about what's happened toward the back half of the schedule, and this happened under Kellen Moore, and of course Kelli Moore is now in Los Angeles. But things get stagnant. We have talked about it on this show. The Big bag that Kellen Moore brought. You reach in, you try and pull out that one last toy, that one last item out of the bag, and there's nothing in there. You're just getting nothing but velvet down there. So so when that happens,

Yeah, it opens up your offense in a completely different way.

And I whenever I had heard that the Cowboys really wanted to go get a tight end that can help them in the run blocking game, I was like, Oh, okay, yeah, I like this different. Yeah, exactly, especially with the way Tony Pollard and Duce Vaughan can run between the tackles. I mean, we've seen Will McLay talked about it. You know, Duce Vaughn taking off for a seventy eight yard touchdown

It's exciting.

Let me let me ask you this hypothetically speaking, here's a here's an offensive scheme, dual running back sit with duce Von and Tony Pollard in the same set. You have a two tight end, one of those tight ends, a schoonmaker who can block and catch Jake Ferguson, Ceedee Lamb, and then you got Brandon Cooks.

You're we got too many on the field, right. I hope everybody check.

It as to what is happening, right Kellen Moore kell with a different type of twelve.

Nobody saw, there's no replay, willn't take a play. People need to pay attention to what's happening with this, With this offense, Kellen Moore is gone. Okay, Kellen Moore's aired out, throwing every single down type of guy. Give me three four receivers on the field at all times. Then you have coach coming in and he's pretty much saying that he wants to do what.

Run the ball?

He wants to run the ball. Okay, he backs that up in a draft by going out and getting that tight end.

That does what block block.

He goes out there and also grabs a running back right late pick that can have what shifty shiftiness? Right shiftiness. So now you're looking at it. These guys got the old lineman. They want to play bully ball. Don't expect to go out here and see a bunch of three receiver sets. Don't expect to see what you've seen over

Right.

McCarthy did it in Green Bay too, And what do they do?

Absolutely, so you're going to see two backs, You're gonna see two tight ends.

You have you have two sure wide receivers.

And if you want to sprinkle in the third, you have a third You're know, they're they're getting away from being dependent on having three and four solid receivers.

They're getting more towards. We're gonna be solid up front.

We're gonna have somebody to come downhill, and we're gonna get four yards of pop on the ground. And then when we need to, we canna run slants, we canna run double moves, we run all these things. We are going to move the chains. They're just telling you they're getting away from being dependent on having a third thing thirty five times a game. Don't expect to see the same thing you've seen in the past years and.

Then want to posing defenses crashed down, Brandon Cooks over the top, ceedee lamb against changing.

Do you like the change? It's consistent. It's not going to be as flashy if what I'm if what my foresight has right now, right in my little crystal ball. Okay, it's not going to be as flashy. It's going to be more long winded.

Right.

So, people like the big plays, that like the big splash.

And that's cool, but that's not an exciting brand of football. It's not an exciting brand of football. But it is consistent it wears teams down, and it leaves your bag full, it leaves your back. Because you simplify the crap out

Guess or do you need a third receiver out there?

Nah?

Right, I can put my I can put shoemaker out, I can put my line, but put my my tight end out there. Now, I got six offensive linemen pretty much right, I could block it up. I could sit back and I could throw it. If I need to get my guys out of the backfield, I could motion either one of those guys out the backfield, and all of a sudden, I have very viable options at the receiver position and running back position. They are trying to

Mike McCarthy said late last season, he made a comment that's really coming to fruition right now. When it really cements what Isaiah is saying as far as the foreshadowing for what the Cowboys offense is going to be. Mike McCarthy and a postgame press conference said, I would rather trade production for wins. I'll trade offensive production for wins. I'll trade out. Mike McCarthy doesn't care about having forty points a game. He doesn't care about averaging the forty burger.

That's what Mike McCarthy is here. What does Dak do best? I've said it a gazillion time, play action.

Yeah, So if you know what your quarterback does best, play to it and he doesn't make too many mistakes when he's in that in that mode, why would you not build everything else around it to set him.

Up for success.

Whis just what they're doing.

It's exactly what they're doing. We're gonna run the ball thirty times a game. We don't want him throwing the ball more than twenty five times a game. He is going to have a high percision rate because we're running highly accurate passes. You are a highly accurate, accurate routes, short nights, precise. Get it in their hands if they want to jump in. We got a double move built off of it. We are going to wear you down.

Oh and by the way, never have guys who can separate. Whose name isn't cd let duce Vall. He's separating schoolmaker. Yes he's an elite run blocker, but he can separate. Jake Ferguson separator, Payton Hendershop separate.

Look at the personnel groupings the personnel.

If you come out in the twenty one personnel, they have to come out in the base defense.

Yep.

If you come out in the twenty two personnel, they have to come out in the base defense. Right and now, all of a sudden, twenty three even now you motion guys out. Now what now you have linebackers guard on

We leave one of them in at the block. Yep.

Now it gives an opportunity because last year, whenever you were relying on Dalton Schultz and he was kind of banged up toward the back half of the season, but you were relying on Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hindershot. Is that youth duo at the tight end position. You knew what was happening. Jake Ferguson was going to come in there and he was going to block eighty percent at the time. And then you had you had Peyton Hendershot who was going to come in He was going to

Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the best thing to do is stop running and.

Bear with me here, I'm just gonna go defense.

You talked about Kellen Moore being stagnant at times last year, and there would be multiple drives where they're off the field and three four plays and you know the defense is right back on the field trying to, you know, go against a run defense or a really good rushing offense, and then they're getting run right up the middle. It's it's bad complimentary football. And Mike McCarthy talked a lot about it this past weekend. We're trying to implement complimentary football.

He has position.

He has experienced at all three levels as an ed drudger, linebacker and safety. I mean having a guy like that that can either beef him up and bring him down, or you know, lean him up and put him back, or just keep him in the linebacking corps, I think I think there's just a lot to lack about the defense lean him up and push him back.

I like that, tomarveon Overshown all three levels and so and you had been around Overshown through your recruiting days, right because he was out in the East Texas initially, and then of course he went to Austin and you spend some time down there.

But I mean shout out to Art Texas by the way, East Texas, the Texas.

Beast, Texas Baby.

Where does he fit best? Do you think he fits best as a linebacker or just as a purely versatile piece.

Yeah, I think he's gonna fit best as a linebacker, But I think he's going to have a lot of pass rush upside that I think not a lot of people will expect.

Dan Quinn knows how to unlock that from people, which goes to my answer.

Dan Quinn is the big winner. He continues to win.

The Cowboys continue to basically give him carte blanche, and wisely so, because he's already built one of the most dominant defenses in the league. And it just got better. You dropped Mazzie Smith in you talk about Demarveion Overshown, who was someone I like so much. I mocked him to the Cowboys and my one and only draft and

The guy is violent. He he has two gears, stop and kill.

Okay, go back and watch his film and you love everything you see from him. So when you talk about overshown and Mazzie Smith, and you talk about Villiami for Hoko, and I'm actually intrigued with Eric Scott, someone.

Who not a lot of people knew about. But if Will McClay is and Dan Quinn are so all in on this.

Kid that they're willing to give up a pick next year, which will ultimately be a comp pick, but a twenty twenty four fifth round pick, to move up and draft him at one seventy eight instead of risking him falling the two twelve.

That tells me something.

And for those that don't know, the four point seventy one second forty was on a tweak quad right because he tweaked it, pull up, jumping thirty nine and a half inches in his vertical still ran it, though, do you know how insane that is to even run a four to seven to one hurt? But he said he's been clocked at sub four five, sub four four five. So Eric Scott, he's intriguing. Bottom line is dan Quinn already entered this this draft with top two defense in

It's da Barbion over shown reminds me of a mixture between Michaeh. Parsons and jay Ron Curse, because that's what it's gonna be, because it's like, okay, I mean, I'm not comparing let me let me slow this down real quick. I'm not comparing his skill set to both of those players. Like I don't think he is Michael Parsons and I don't think he is jay Ron Curse. Put together usability, but his usage could be compared to that because where

An ad dresser.

That's just kind of where he has been, where he's been successful. Then you have jay Ron Curse, who where is he gonna line up? Okay, he's gonna be in the back of the defense and he'll come into the box and they to cover a tight end. He's gonna do so many different things. And then there's a Dabarbion overshow, and that's like, all right, now, he can do all three of those things.

So when I see him, I see Donald, I see I see a Donald. I see a Donald would cover. It's a hard hitter, like that's what That's what I see when I see him. I see Donald like he's either he's either not coming or he's going. It's either, you know, it's full speed ahead, and he has ability to cover a little bit. So I see, I see a bigger, more rangier Donald more than a little bit.

That's what I see when I see he is really good at coverage. So I agree with you guys. If we're talking about offensive defense, I think the defense won.

They won the night. When we're talking about position groups. I think the running backs one, really, I really do. I think the running backs, or even over the D line, because you think about, yeah, man, they have a one heck of a pick right the D line. Didn't they need it? They need they needed that. Outside of that, they had no needs. It was once offensively when you go to the running back room.

They had needs. We talked about it. They had needs it right.

When I talk about a position a position group, that one, I would have to say that they won in the draft and in post draft by paying by picking up Hunter. Because now you look at it in terms of what they're saying that they want to do. They have those boxes checked. They don't have to look outside anymore. That room is solid from what they did in just the draft. In just the draft, they addressed it right. So they

That's your job. That's your job.

Get us one to two yards and make sure nobody his deck in the back of the head.

Okay, read linebackers one to two.

Communicate with the on line, know exactly where the slide's going. Make sure you pick off the an outline of scrimmage. That is your job.

Okay. Now, and we go out there and we get a shifty cat. Okay, TP, we don't want you to be that shifting guy. No more.

You have more responsibilities. We're gonna have somebody who was your role. That's he's now taking your role for your last year's role. We're your last three years role.

Okay. So now that's Deuce Dews. That's your job.

And guess what, we got a big monster if we don't have to bring a lineman in no more to go down here and come downhill. Every time we have a lineman in the game, we're running the ball. No Now, we got a foolback who's ce ball.

Hit ball.

That's all he wants to do. He wants to see you tell him he go out there and hit fifty two. Okay, coach, he can also catch.

Yeah, and again, now you got it. Coming out of the back of the first of Telly. We started talking about.

Goallar about receiving touchdowns last year.

Now we're talking about play.

Actually were talking about him coming in, bluffing on the linebackingay and going out to the flat right. So now you in terms of addressing a position group holistically, I think the running backs won.

I like it.

That's that's an interesting take because I agree that they won. Did they win over the defensive line? I think Mozzie Smith adding to that defensive line? What if we talked about and we talked about it before Jonathan Hankins, and then we talked about it after Jonathan Hankins came into the fold. They need a guy like that. Absolutely, they have needed a Mozzi Smith and they got Jonathan Hankins. And I still love Jonathan Hankins being on this football team, even in twenty twenty three.

Need it both, yes, you need it both.

We talked about big Jonathan Hankins coming back and saying that is an instrumental piece.

That's something that happened.

But we also said he needs somebody when he goes out that that role is still fulfilled because.

Now it's the opposite way though now Mozzie Smith is that role and Jonathan Hankins is the fill in and Mozzi Smith is the long term answer to that question. So now you allow for everybody to run free, not only when Jonathan Hankins is in the game, but now you've got a Mozzie Smith and a Jonathan Hankins. You're let's put them both out there, let's have some fun, let's go line.

But you're the thing is they're not exposed. And that's the one that's the conversation we had pre draft. The reason why they needed to address that position and with a high pick is so that you're never exposed to the run when they see big Jonathan Hankns go out. What is offensive coordinator automatically think the middle of the defense is weak. Yeah, we can. We can go right up the middle. Okay if we want to. We can do quarterback sneaks if we want to. We can get

Well, here's what I say, and careful with this, because I think that you'll see sets of Mazzi and Jonathan Hankins together together in more than just goal line if you read the tea leaves and listen to what Will McClay is saying, Stephen Jones was saying, when you listen

On what the lineup is. Four down man, three down man.

So you're going to see Mazzi Smith not just operate solely as a run stopper, which means if he's on the field with Jonathan Hankins, which direction are you running to? Because also you got to keep in mind these are operating in a rotation of guys like osa Odiggy Zuwa who's coming off of a breakout season, Chauncey Goosten, whose needed was pointy North.

Right now, Dan, I have to say it again, dan Quinn was already a winner coming into the draft. And the fact that they drop a nuclear.

Weapon like Mazzie Smith onto the table and then sprinkle in another weapon in Villyami Fojoko and then say hey, Tomar Jon Overshan, come on in and join the party. This defense as a whole, to Nick's point, is insane. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, we saw dan Quinn kind of sneak over to the to the end of the table in the front office after they made their first round pick and they'd officially made it, and then a smile was ear We felt it, We felt it downstairs, Yes, it was.

He's got to be excited. He's got every every right to be excited.

Quick thing I want to touch on, if they can unlock that pass rush ability for Mazzie Smith, that would be.

Fun because he's already disruptive from zero one to two. That's super explosive, super explosied.

There's only one person, think about this, there's only one person on this defense who's asked to play one position, Jonathan Hankins.

That's it.

Yeah, everybody else is.

Get in there, big boy.

And I mean, if we would have talked about it last week, if we would have in our lead up show said okay, three of the first four picks are going to go to the defensive side of the ball. One, I don't think we would have believed. I would not have and two I don't think we would have been as excited about it. But that's what dan Quinn brings.

This started yesterday afternoon. I called to you and we were talking about a couple of days and I was like, I wonder, I forgot Dallas and Seattle are playing in this series, and that of course they go back and forth. Of course, last night was at the American Airline Center. The Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle is the other the other games of the series. I was like, I wonder if there's a game that would overlap while I'm in Seattle.

You can't, oh, you can't put a price on being in the bill. When the stars eliminate.

That, they put a price on it.

There was a price on it, no doubt about it. It was just a big price. But the hotel we're staying at is like a couple of blocks away, and so we're going to walk to the stadium if they go.

But here's the thing, if only someone knew anybody in the Krakens.

Yeah, this is all happening. Or I heard about Isaiah being front row last night Buddy Buddy with the Krakens ownership group. And I didn't even get a text message.

About this morning.

They didn't even hear about it. But you know what, Isaiah, I wasuch.

I was CouchSurfing while you were the same here Rubbin Elbow, I was in there. I was in there pissing off all the stars. It was awesome.

Okay, So for those that don't know, and you should know, if you listen to this show, Seattle all, I mean that's hometown for for Isaiah.

Stand back.

He's got his cracking shirt on.

This is custom, says the custom.

You can crack house one of one, one on one man start selling these joy I'm trying.

I'm trying to counterbalance it. But that that's next level. And one of my clients made this for me. He designed it looks great. It's pretty dope, but it looks like it's so funny. Look it looks pro shops awesome. It is going to be.

But so you're a huge Cracking fan. You have been since day one.

I mean they founded the team every just like people are Dallas everything, I'm Seattle everything.

Well, you're you're you're one of one in the studio because three of us are stars fans.

Absolutely you should be.

I think we need to make a bet. I think we need to bet something here.

You still want to bet?

Yeah?

I was going to say, you know, we scored three goals in fifty two seconds. That's okay, Okay, you.

Scored one the rest of the game.

Yeah, grab him and hold, grab him and hold.

You tried, you tried to.

Like nervous. We got pav God, so we would.

We'll be all right, bro, show Letski I mean, oh my gosh, yeah, Pavelski. I don't know why I said, let's I think that's a football player.

I don't know.

Uh, Pavelski though, oh man, it was nuts four goals last night. Okay. Here's the thing, though, we gotta we gotta come up with with the bet that's happening here. Of course, it's a series win stars, win the series, crack and win the spot one. Uh yeah, we give you a one one game head start. What are we thinking here? We think it just jersey hat swap where where?

I don't know.

I'm trying to think of a bet live on the air. By the way, if you have any questions or you have any suggestions.

Be who represents a city exactly.

I wish that this series was like last week. You don't know why I do not wish it was. Why I wish it was last week?

Why is because that bet could have been uh, you wearing a cracking jersey down the aisle.

That's not I would have never make that bet in the first place.

Why not confident card?

No, there's a couple of different reasons. Why as an.

Undershirts undershirt, just have it underneath, just rip.

I don't know if you're familiar with the divorce rating, but let's not contribute to it.

Yeah, I think I'm good on that lot. But all right, guys, well yeah, well we'll we'll hit the bet next week. I will be here next week. So it is the week after the wedding, but my honeymoon doesn't start until the thirteenth and Tacos and tunes.

There's two more games games before No, yeah, two more games before, three games before next show. No, I think they played Sunday Tuesday something like that. So Thursday, Sunday Tuesday. I think that's what they are, Saturday Tuesday anyways.

So it's a Tuesday game, not a Monday game.

It's one of those. But either way, there's two to three games before our next show, so.

It won't be clenched by then, and if it is, you'll win the bet. But that's fine, we'll figure it well.

You guys, hold it down next week, rub it all in his face the wins, because next Tuesday I will be out of office, actually my first off season, you.
